We Grieve

We grieve for ourselves when we grieve for the dead For our own mortality and of us what lay ahead For even those who to a god kneel for to pray Have no wish to be where dead people lay Few do go through life without bearing some cross And we grieve for ourselves for our own sense of loss Sorrow is mentally painful and it's feelings run deep But the dead do not hear us when for them we weep When at the grave of a loved one we shed tears of grief We weep for ourselves this only my belief The dead past all cares and worries our sobs cannot hear It is only the living their own mortality fear I have wept for deceased family and friends in the flesh i will never more see But i have come to realize that the one i was grieving for was only me How human feelings work is far beyond me to explain Only know that the deceased dead to feelings cannot know of our mental pain We weep for ourselves when we weep for a deceased family member or friend Whose journey in life for them has come to an end This is only my opinion with which most of with would not agree But then we all look at things one might say differently.
